Also, remove the RAM and run MEMTEST again, to see if the problem goes away. If it does, the new memory is likely defective or not compatible. However, it may still be an issue with the mom board.
Not nescecarily. Don't jump to conclusions Could also be the northbridge towards the mem, or a PSU operating at it's limits If you get mem-errors, remove the mem-modules, re-run the test for at leas several days. If they're gone, take another pc that you know for certain that it does not have any problems. Insert in this system the suspected ram-modules. Run the mem-test also on this system. Only if it start failing on this system also, one might conclude that the mem is bad. be sure, that you're not overclocking, As Illustration: I've had a system with 4GB that went crazy after four years. Only errors in the top 100 MB, Re-adjust the kernel that it only used 3.5GB mem, All went well for six months, then problems again, re-adjust to 3GB, another couple of months. Finally when hitting the 1GB limit bought some new mem. Mem errors straight away. Probably a fried northbridge. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
